 |
“Rockin’ Ralph’s Roadhouse, ” is a musical about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and its impact on bar patrons at a roadhouse outside of New Orleans. Listening to this album is like taking a virtual stroll through the streets of the French Quarter hearing the sounds of Cajun, Zydeco, Blues, and Swamp Pop originals swirling in the sultry air. It’s all very lively and danceable foot stompin’ music drawn from the traditions of American Roots Music. The Squeezebox Stompers plays a multitude of instruments including: piano and Cajun accordions, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, acoustic bass, triangle, rub-board, and drums, with the entire band singing lead and harmony vocals. As veteran performers for the past 25 years, various members of the band have distinguished themselves as music award winners: Ralph Tufo has won 4 Boston Music Awards as a former member of the Boogaloo Swamis; Larry Plitt was the 2007 winner of the Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest. |
